Too many dudes going into panic state or feeling shitty about themselves. Doesn't help.

First and foremost you die anyways. This is just a huge ass game going on, first things first dont take it seriously.

Our ancestors fought wars and famine and you are sitting there whinging that you didn't buy bitcoin at $5. Dumb ass.

BTB posts are simply frameworks and guidelines to live a decent enough life while you are alive. Take the essence of what is being expressed and apply to your own situation.

If you think going back and reading all the posts are going to solve your life problems, its highly probable that you are an idiot. Things take time. If you go from e.g 50K NW in 2022 to 75K NW in 2023. Still progress.

The biggest thing I have taken from being a BTB reader is not financial success. It is actually controlling my emotions and being ok with eating shit. Happy Days.

I'm very curious to see how the talent exodus plays out in the states with WFH becoming mainstream. Beyond even savings on talent, we can cut bait with an engineer overseas that isnt working out, but to do so locally is a precarious legal situation to deal with.

My recommendation for US based readers: Get into positions where you're directly responsible for revenue in some fashion. You'll need to be able to point to the bottom line to survive.
